strangely, you don’t see a lot of drunk-driving-apologists

Punkass Marc has the best response to conservative hand-wringing that women who go out Drinking! in Bars! and Clubs! and dare to be in public after dark! are really just asking to be raped:

Yep. Drinking is dangerous. Problem is, the conservatives never ask themselves what’s worse: drinking which puts you in danger of being raped, or drinking so that you release your inner rapist and actually rape someone. If anyone should be chastised for imbibing so much alcohol that you can’t control yourself, it should probably be the violent offender. Wacky pinko liberal theory, I know. But hey, when a drunk driver hurts someone, we usually blame the person who got hit for being out in the road, don’t we?
